25 Years of SOMMER France – A Story of German-French Friendship
SOMMER has now been present in the French market for 25 years. What began in 2000 with the dedicated work of our long-standing sales representatives, the Rohlich family of Inter Action, has grown into a true success story. Thanks to their tireless commitment, the SOMMER brand was able to gain a foothold in France and establish itself as an indispensable player.
Establishment of a Subsidiary in Alsace
In 2010, an important change took place with the founding of a subsidiary in Alsace, near Strasbourg.
This subsidiary aimed to strengthen SOMMER’s reputation in France, be closer to customers, enable faster deliveries thanks to a warehouse in France, and also provide all customers with technical support through a team of technicians.
This development was the responsibility of the new Managing Director Patrick Kieffer, who was entrusted with implementing this change and promoting all the brands of the SOMMER Group – DOCO and Groke.
In collaboration with Michael, the son of the Rohlich family, we continue to establish the SOMMER brand in France by offering an increasingly comprehensive range, such as gate drives and industrial drives.
